Legal Question in Employment Law in California
We have an employee who is paid a flat rate (of $400 a week) IF he doesn't make more than that in billable hours. (We're in the automotive repair industry and he is a mechanic.)
When we pay him vacation/holiday pay, which rate should we use as a basis? The lower flat rate or an average of the higher billable hours?

Such benefits would normally be based upon his base pay.
